Topics include: how COVID-19 affected season one, including their relief at having shot the finale first; the shocking twist in which Ainsley became her killer father’s “child #1”; Jessica and Gil’s complicated relationship; Dani’s father/daughter bond with mentor Gil; Edrisa’s sense of humor in disturbing scenarios; hints about an upcoming moment deemed “the funniest scene so far”; how the “twisted” writers invent unique and creative murders for each episode; Sheen’s encounters with eager Welsh fans while in lockdown; Sage’s study of Barbara Walters’ interview tactics for Ainsley; Payne’s awe at how much the show “can get away with”; the challenge of rehearsing together while safely masked; and assurances that the show won’t be “subtle” with answers and reveals in season two.
